TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Be it known lthat we, RICHARD TATTnnsnALL and JonN A. BUneuAnn, of the city f Beloit, in the county of Rock, and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Gates; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof,L which will enable others skilled in the artrite make and use the same, reference being hadvto the accompanying drawings, and 'to the letters of reference marked thereon, and making a part of this speciiication.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures.

D D D represent the main framework to which the gate a, with the several devices herein described for operating the same, is ntfached. -Thc oscillating circular plane E is secured to the outexl end of the arm F by the pivot q. The grooved pulley .II is'uttnched to the standard A of thegatc by a suitable bolt. Thesaid pulley may be placed :1t any point higher or lower on said standard, so that the gate may be raised to any convenient height necessary to avoid deep snow or drifts, the facility to do which is provided by the application, construction, and arrangement of the double' sliding yhinge C C B connecting the lgate to the post D, and enabling the said gate to ascend and descend freely in opening and closing, us herein set forth. The gate is opened by elevating the inner end of thc said circular plane E by actuating the lever I, which is connected to the outer end of the said lever I at R or at the s lpt` in the top of the post O. The pulley H is'thus made to runrfreely down the upper surface of the said circular plane, causing the gate to swing open freely by its4 own gravity.V It is closed in the same manner by reversing the operation of the said lever I. Suitable pendent handles are attached to either end of said lever by links or other available device to enable the operator to manipulate the said lever, and cause the gate to be opened and closed without alighting from the convcyance'or saddle. Thegatc may be opened and closed in a similar manner by driving one wheel of the vehicle against one of the crank-levers on one of the shafts L, on the projecting ends of which each is provided with ya crank to which are attached rods K, which ulsoarc connected to the bell-crank levers S S. Attached thereto are other similar rods K. The upper right-hand one of said rods is connected to the outer end of the said circular plane E, as shown at R.' The left-hand one of said rods is connected to-the outer end ofthe rod T. The gate may be constructed with the said lever and oper ated thereby, us herein set forth, or may be provided with the other device herein described, (the crank-levers &c.,) separately or together. v

What we claim as'our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

".l. We claim broadly the oscillating circular plane E, for the purpose set forth.

2. We claim a gate constructed substantially as described, in combination with the double sliding hinge C C B, the oscillating circular plane E, lever I, the crank-levers L L, rods K K, bell-crank levers S S, the pulley H, standard A, and self-fastening latch W, arranged and operating as and for the purpose specified.
